    Hi Joe,

    It lists the devices that are currently enabled to wake your computer
    from any sleep state.

    Type *powercfc /? *in the command prompt for a complete list of codes
    and what they are for.

    Hope this helps you,
    Shawn

    Re: My PCs wake up by themselves from standby or hibernation!

    I just want to say that I'm having the EXACT same problems and get the same
    output from powercfg... it's driving me nuts.

    When I initially did a wake_armed list in power_cfg I found that my mouse,
    keyboard and HD audio were all wake armed, even though I had definitely
    disabled the mouse and keyboard. Anyway, I've done it again and now all I'm
    left with is the HD Audio (motherboard onboard sound), and yet my system
    still wakes up.

    I hope that whatever may be found to help the OP can help me too!

    Re: My PCs wake up by themselves from standby or hibernation!

    i think it's called 'wake up on lan' and you have to disable it from the
    bios (F10 on boot up i think)

    Re: My PCs wake up by themselves from standby or hibernation!

    Hi,

    Was one of the very first things I disabled in bios, along with wake on
    mouse and wake on keyboard.

    I've then also done that within Vista also, via the properties of each of
    those devices... and turned of the ability for any of the usb host
    controllers to wake the system.

    I just have absolutely NO idea why my machine keeps turning on, and I
    believe that's the same boat as the OP.

    Re: My PCs wake up by themselves from standby or hibernation!

    Hi,

    I had looked in there before, and just looked again, but don't know what I
    should be checking or playing with in there...

    Now... one thing I did try was the hybrid sleep option (enable/disable),
    which was on... I disabled it and when my computer went into standby it was
    effectively an S1 state, ie the fans were still running on it, power seemed
    to be on to most components.

    But I couldn't get it to power back on properly, it would fire up the hard
    drive etc. but the screen didn't come back on...ever, I ended up having to
    switch it off at the back of the machine (hard off) and leave it like that
    for a few seconds before bringing it back to make it start up again ok.

    I'm just baffled here, and didn't think standby should be this hard!

    Re: My PCs wake up by themselves from standby or hibernation!

    The computer can be restarted from software or hardware. One of the hardware
    items that can restart is network access.
    You did not say what kind of network configuration you have, but try
    disconnecting the cable (phone or Ethernet etc) from the computer and see if
    the computer stays asleep. If so get back and someone will help you get that
    feature disabled.

    Re: My PCs wake up by themselves from standby or hibernation!

    One thing I just did do, which I don't know yet whether it has fully worked,
    but my computer stayed off all night last night, was this:

    From reading another thread it led me to look at the Event Logs (Control
    Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Event Viewer.

    Then Looking at Windows Logs-> System.

    From here you can see the computer going to sleep and waking up, and so see
    what it's running on wake. My PC seemed to be complaining that it couldn't
    renew its IP address and so was waking to try and do so (at least so I
    think). So I've given my pc a static IP.... and so far so good... I'll let
    you know if it wakes up again in the future...

    Aaaand... no.

    My wife just messaged me to say the pc started up again.

    Dangit.

    More investigation needed. This is truly an annoying issue with Vista

    Re: My PCs wake up by themselves from standby or hibernation!

    Hi Shawn,

    That's a great post and very nicely brings together everything that I have
    been looking at in trying to solve the problem... but unfortunately I have
    tried all of those things already :(

    Still the pc wakes.

    I'll be checking the logs some more tonight to see what woke it up this time.

    Sorry Hal for the thread hijack, I hope I haven't lead it astray from your
    own issue?

    Re: My PCs wake up by themselves from standby or hibernation!

    Ok, Just wanted to state I MAY (emphasis on MAY) have fixed my problem, which
    I hope in turn maybe helps hal.

    On looking in the event logs I noted that the computer was always finding
    that the network adapter was connected and therefore powering the computer
    back up, even though EVERYTHING told it to not use the LAN for wake up events.

    Anyway, I was looking in the properties of the Network adapter and found a
    setting that pertained to what sort of data would wake the computer. I can't
    remember the exact tab or field name now, sorry, I'm at work and my work pc
    is XP... but I think it's under the Advanced tab, then look along that for
    something that looks right. In any case there's a property that was set to
    'Magic Packet' or similar, it had a bunch of other options, but one of them
    was 'none' so I set it to that.

    So far I've had over a day of no wakes from sleep, and all seems to be well.

    Fingers crossed.

    Spoco2,

    Glad to hear it. I hope it works for you too.

    I believe I found what you were referring to and included it in the
    site. If you would not mind, look at the Fourth section step 9 to see
    if this is what you meant at this same link. A lot of people will be
    much happier with this information.

    Thank you,
    Shawn

    Re: My PCs wake up by themselves from standby or hibernation!

    That is indeed the tab and area that the option was in, but it wasn't an
    enabled/disabled type of option, it was a drop down with about 5 options in
    it. Of course it it different from adapter to adapter, so that may well be
    how the realtek one displays the same options... but yeah, that's where to
    look.

    Ridiculous really, as it's just ignoring all the higher level settings to
    now wake the darn computer. Either it's the device creator's issue at not
    listening to the setting higher up, or it's Vista's issue for not enforcing
    the setting all the way down.
